2012影壇成績(jī)單

2012年是影壇的豐收年，各類影片大放異彩。作為影迷的你，相信心中一定有自己的“最佳”榜單，眾口難調(diào)，哪怕是奧斯卡或是金球獎(jiǎng)也未必能代表大多數(shù)人的觀影感受。在本期的《無(wú)限播客》中，著名影評(píng)家鮑勃·蒙代羅將與我們分享他心目中的年度最佳電影。

Audie Cornish： Its been a great year for movie box offices with many records 1）toppled. The comic book 2）blockbuster “The Avengers” had the biggest opening weekend in Hollywood history. “Skyfall” became the first James Bond film to earn more than a billion dollars in ticket sales worldwide. In fact， box office sales overall this year easily the movie industrys biggest ever. But what about quality？ Bob Mondello says the news there is good， too. His top 10 list positively 3）runneth over.

奧迪·科尼什：許多電影票房紀(jì)錄在過(guò)去一年被打破，成績(jī)斐然。根據(jù)漫畫改編的大片《復(fù)仇者》刷新了好萊塢周末首映票房紀(jì)錄；《007：大破天幕危機(jī)》成為首部全球票房超過(guò)十億美元的“007”系列電影。事實(shí)上，全年的票房收入前所未有地推動(dòng)了電影產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展，但是影片質(zhì)量呢？鮑勃·蒙代羅說(shuō)情況也相當(dāng)樂(lè)觀。他的“年度十佳”榜單也確實(shí)充分說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn)。

Bob Mondello： Hollywood is often accused of serving up simple-minded pleasures， but a lot of this years best films were 4）nuanced and complex. And for once， their nuanced complexity was exactly what made them popular. Steven Spielbergs “Lincoln，” for instance...

（Soundbite from “Lincoln”）

Daniel Day Lewis： （as Abraham Lincoln） I admire your 5）zeal， Mr. Stevens， and I have tried to profit from the example of it.

Mondello： No wide-eyed presidential 6）snow job， “Lincoln”is a tale of political 7）intrigue where the great good of eradicating slavery requires great compromise on lesser evils.

（Soundbite from “Lincoln”）

Tommy Lee Jones： （as Thaddeus Stevens） Ashley insists youre ensuring approval by 8）dispensing 9）patronage to otherwise 10）undeserving Democrats...

Lewis： （as Abraham Lincoln） I cant ensure a single damn thing if you scare the whole House silly with talk of land 11）appropriations， revolutionary 12）tribunals...

Mondello： Spielbergs “Lincoln” has other virtues， terrific performances， gorgeous 13）cinematography， but whats 14）captivating audiences is that its not the dipped-in-amber civics lesson they were expecting. Thats also true of the war-on-terrorism 15）chronicle“Zero Dark Thirty.”

（Soundbite of “Zero Dark Thirty”）

Unidentified man 1： I dont care about bin Laden. I care about the next attack. Youre going to start working on the American al-Qaida cells， protect the homeland.

Jessica Chastain： （as Maya） Bin Laden is the one who keeps telling them to attack the homeland.

Mondello： “Zero Dark Thirty”is about as far from a rah-rah， get-the-bad-guy flick as director Kathryn Bigelow could make it. Which is a good thing， because Ben Affleck made a rah-rah， get-awayfrom-the-bad-guys flick that would be pretty hard to 16）top， the rousing 17）thriller “Argo” about how the 18）CIA got six Americans out of 19）Tehran during the Iran 20）hostage crisis by pretending to make a movie.

Thats a trio of fact-based stories. Next， a fable blending real-world 21）tempests and mythical creatures. “Beasts of the Southern Wild” tells the tale of a 6-year-old girl named Hushpuppy living in a 22）bayou community thats hit by a hurricane.

（Soundbite of “Beasts of the Southern Wild”）

Mondello： Hushpuppys world is at once real and magical and so is “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” Thats four of the years 10 most interesting pictures. The next three hail from overseas， from France in the case of Michael Hanekes devastating masterwork“Amour，” about an elderly married couple who find themselves facing the end of life and not a pretty end， though they can still find joy for a while in things like a brand new motorized wheelchair.

鮑勃·蒙代羅：好萊塢經(jīng)常被批出品毫無(wú)深度，但是本年度最佳影片中有不少與此略微不同，情節(jié)更為復(fù)雜。而這一次，這些細(xì)微差別的復(fù)雜性恰好使其大受歡迎。史蒂芬·斯皮爾伯格執(zhí)導(dǎo)的《林肯》就是其中之一。

（《林肯》原聲片段）

丹尼爾·戴·劉易斯：（飾演亞伯拉罕·林肯）我欽佩你的熱忱，史蒂文斯先生，我以你為楷模。

蒙代羅：沒(méi)有睜眼說(shuō)空話的“總統(tǒng)式”花言巧語(yǔ)的游說(shuō)，《林肯》是一部表現(xiàn)政治陰謀的傳奇，最終廢除奴隸制的結(jié)局是需要權(quán)衡利弊作出極大妥協(xié)的。

（《林肯》原聲片段）

湯米·李·瓊斯：（飾演泰迪爾斯·斯蒂文斯）阿什利堅(jiān)持說(shuō)你在利用工作分配優(yōu)惠給那些反對(duì)我們的民主黨人來(lái)拉選票……

劉易斯：（飾演亞伯拉罕·林肯）如果你夸夸其談嚇到整個(gè)眾議院，我可不能保證什么了，比如談什么土地征用啊，革命法庭啊……

蒙代羅：斯皮爾伯格的《林肯》可圈可點(diǎn)之處還有（演員）嫻熟的演技、獨(dú)具匠心的拍攝手法，但是吸引觀眾的是，這并不是所期待的正兒八經(jīng)的“公民課”。反恐戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的紀(jì)錄式影片《獵殺本·拉登》也一樣。

（《獵殺本·拉登》原聲片段）

匿名男聲1：我不關(guān)心本·拉登，我只關(guān)心下一次襲擊。你將要開始為美國(guó)打擊基地基層組織工作，保衛(wèi)國(guó)家。

杰西卡·查斯坦：（飾演瑪雅）本·拉登是那個(gè)不停讓他們?nèi)ヒu擊我們國(guó)家的人。

蒙代羅：《獵殺本·拉登》原本可以讓導(dǎo)演凱瑟琳·畢格羅拍成一部“好啊，抓住壞人”式的影片，但卻偏離其道。這是件好事，因?yàn)楸尽ぐ⒏トR克已經(jīng)拍了一部難以超越的“好啊，遠(yuǎn)離壞人”式的佳作——《逃離德黑蘭》，該影片講述中央情報(bào)局如何假扮電影拍攝隊(duì)在伊朗人質(zhì)事件中成功從德黑蘭解救六個(gè)美國(guó)人的驚險(xiǎn)片。

以上是基于事實(shí)的三部電影。接下來(lái)將是現(xiàn)實(shí)與魔幻交雜、科幻生物風(fēng)暴來(lái)襲?！赌戏降囊矮F》講的是一個(gè)住在河口地區(qū)的6歲女孩“小玉米餅”在一場(chǎng)突如其來(lái)的暴風(fēng)雨之后經(jīng)歷的故事。

（《南方的野獸》原聲片段）

蒙代羅：“小玉米餅”的世界立即變得現(xiàn)實(shí)而又神奇，這就是《南方的野獸》。這是年度十佳影片的第四部。接下來(lái)的三部出自海外，就來(lái)說(shuō)說(shuō)法國(guó)電影、邁克爾·哈內(nèi)克的杰作《愛》吧，講的是一對(duì)年邁的夫妻，他們即將走到生命的盡頭但卻不盡美好，然而他們?nèi)匀豢梢詾樯钫业蕉虝旱目鞓?lè)，哪怕只是一輛嶄新的電動(dòng)輪椅。

（Soundbite from “Amour”）

Mondello： “Amour” is about a love thats lasted decades. Another French picture， “Rust and Bone，” is about a love just beginning between a fighter and a woman who suffers a life-altering accident， one that required some of the years most arresting special effects. 2012s most compelling documentary， meanwhile， hails from Israel： “The Gatekeepers，” in which six former heads of that countrys internal security service talk about everything from targeted 23）assassinations to being hung out to dry by the politicians who gave them their marching orders.

（Soundbite from “The Gatekeepers”）

Mondello： Also eye-opening is the far lighter documentary，“Searching for Sugar Man，” about an American folk singer named Rodriguez. He never got much traction in this county， but he became a superstar in a place you might not expect.

（Soundbite from “Searching for Sugar Man”）

Rodriguez： （singing） and you think Im curious.

Unidentified man 2： The album was exceptionally popular. To many of us South Africans， he was the soundtrack to our lives.

Mondello： The thing is， Rodriguez never knew hed become a hit in South Africa and his fans there all thought he was dead until someone went searching for Sugar Man. Thats eight of my top 10. The last two are by directors named Anderson.

“Moonrise Kingdom” is Wes Andersons 24）whimsical look at a 12-year-old who excels at 25）scouting and the girl he runs off camping with.

（Soundbite from “Moonrise Kingdom”）

Uuidentified child 1： Sometimes I stick leaves on my hair. It helps cool your head down.

Uuidentified child 2： Thats a good idea. It might also help if you didnt wear a fur hat.

Uuidentified child 1： Yeah， true.

Mondello： Wes Andersons whimsy contrasts with the high seriousness that Paul Thomas Anderson brings to his mid-century epic， “The Master，” about a movement called The Cause and its charismatic leader...

“The Master” is both intense psychologically and ravishing visually. OK， theoretically， were done， but the number 10 feels especially arbitrary in a terrific year like this one and I still have some time left， so lets keep going. Commercial filmmakers came up with some seriously cool fantasies this year， including two costarring Joseph Gordon-Levitt， the time-travel thrill ride，“Looper” in which Gordon-Levitt is an assassin who must kill his future self， played by Bruce Willis...

（Soundbite from “Looper”）

Joseph Gordon Levitt： （as Joe） I cant let you walk away from this diner alive. This is my life now. I earned it. You had yours already.

Mondello： And the final episode in Christopher Nolans Batman trilogy，“The Dark Knight Rises.”

（Soundbite from “The Dark Knight Rises”）

（《愛》原聲片段）

蒙代羅：《愛》是關(guān)于年久不衰的愛的故事。另一部法國(guó)影片《銹與骨》則是在愛情初生萌芽的階段，是關(guān)于一個(gè)拳擊手和因事故改變一生的女人之間的故事，這部影片中有本年度一些最炫目的特效。此外，2012年最引人矚目的紀(jì)錄片出自以色列。在《守門人》里，六位以色列國(guó)家秘密情報(bào)機(jī)構(gòu)的前任局長(zhǎng)講述了他們?nèi)温毱陂g的經(jīng)歷，從目標(biāo)暗殺到被給予他們行動(dòng)指令的政客們冷藏。

（《守門人》原聲片段）

蒙代羅：同樣讓人大開眼界的還有紀(jì)錄片《尋找小糖人》，講的是美國(guó)民間歌手羅格里格斯，在本土默默無(wú)聞，卻在另一個(gè)你未曾想過(guò)的國(guó)度大放異彩，成為超級(jí)巨星。
